    • Check on features before to buy/install FP5

      Hi,

      I have been using FP3+ for about 4 years with Ubuntu-Touch as my main/only phone. Even through it indicates support for bluetooth, GPS and some others, I had never managed to get them fully working. I would like to check the status on them before to buy the FP5 and install UbuntuTouch.

      1. Bluetooth
        Bluetooth: Does bluetooth work for hand-free calls? (e.g. in the car, using the car microphone for calls)

      2. GPS/Galileo/etc
        GPS/similars: Does it work at all? (on the FP3, I never managed to get any position, it just wait for reception for hours).

      3. IDLE
        Does it correctly handle application in IDLE? The FP3 battery last for days with all applications closed, but battery get drained terribly with every simple application not fully closed (e.g. Call, Clock or Notes). The battery last 5-6 days normally and maybe 1-2 days with open applications.

      4. NFC
        NFC: Never managed to get it working on FP3, for example, I have a radio that uses NFC to connect the Bluetooth, it works with my wife Android phone, but not with the FP3.

      I assume that other aspects of the FP3 works at least equally for the FP5, like USB connection with the PC, calls, etc.

      Could I kindly ask you to confirm if this is expected to work with the FP5?

    • Feedback FP3+ after 3 months

      Ubuntu-touch status on FP3, after 3 months:

      Hi community!
      First of all, thank you for providing this great OS compatible with my FP3+ phone. I really enjoy it and I am happy to be far from the big-brother company 😉

      Mostly, all necessary is working:

      1. I can call / receive calls
      2. Basic access for browsing
      3. Telegram messaging
      4. OpenStore applications for most common scenarios.

      What I really miss:

      1. P0: Bluetooth support for calls. When driving, it's an absolute must. I also have "that" wonderful headset able to manage calls.
      2. P1: Fingerprint: not a must, but still, very convenient.

      Hopefully it helps

      Kind regards
      Adrian
